Description
The Electromagnetica S 552 A is a mains-powered tube radio receiver made in Bucharest by Radio Popular, the factory that became Electronica in 1960 [1]. It was assembled from kits imported from Hungary [1].
The table gives it together with the Armonia S 561 A; only the Electromagnetica has the EM80 magic-eye tuning indicator [1].
The book lists it among the receivers produced at Radio Popular. It also notes that in 1954–1956 the Electromagnetica works produced five types of radio receivers, until Radio Popular could meet the demand; in 1956 that production line was moved to Radio Popular [1].
In the source table, sensitivity is given for 50 mW output, selectivity at 1 MHz for ±10 kHz detuning, the audio frequency response at −6 dB relative to 400 Hz, and output power at 10% distortion [1].
